THE BLACK LAKE -- the lead story from my huge and heavily-praised collection THREE DOZEN TERIFYING TALES -- is Free this weekend on Kindle. Here's what one reviewer had to say about it:
"A creepy little number that could quite easily have been written by Stephen King."

THE BROTHER is one of my earliest stories, but one I'm still proud to have written. A really spooky chiller with an ending that will make the reader jerk with shock.
It first appeared in 1983 in the Fontana Books anthology 'Nightmares,' edited by the legendary Mary Danby. But it has been reprinted many times since then, in languages other than English too.
It appears in two collections of mine, THREE DOZEN TERRIFYING TALES and CLASSIC PAN & FONTANA HORROR.
But for the next couple of days you can get a copy Free on Amazon Kindle. Or else -- if you are on KU -- you can read it almost for free anytime.

An awful lot of my eBooks on Kindle haven't been eligible for KU up till now.
But that situation has dramatically changed this week and now almost all my fiction can be read by people on the KU scheme.
Let's start with 3 horror collections:
Three Dozen Terrifying Tales is my top-selling Kindle in the UK (with fans in Germany and India too) and has picked up simply dozens of top rating and reviews. If you haven't come across this huge collection previously, here's your chance to find out why that is.
Classic Pan & Fontana Horror is quite well-regarded too. Stories from 3 famous UK anthology series, The Pan Book of Horror, The Fontana Book of Great Horror Stories and the Fontana Book of Great Ghost Stories, plus tales from other mags and anthos of the decade, including The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction in its heyday under Ed Ferman's editorship.
And last but not least, Dark Futures: Sf meets Horror for those of you who like to vary their palate with a little taste of fusion fiction.
Originally published by Samhain in the States, HOT BLOOD is now on Amazon Kindle. Here's what it's about:
Two immortal creatures have arrived in New York City. One of them is Tanya Merrit, the last of the Ykrall, a magical race that lives among and depends on human beings ... they take a little of their blood, so to enhance their powers.
But the other is Janos Wolkran, an ancient and extremely deadly vampire. He has brought with him a brood of servants, people who he has converted into lesser beings, each of them existing solely for his bidding.
Except that one of them is dying right now. And looking for a new replacement, Wolkran's gaze alights on Tanya's human lover, Kathy Harrison. And when he steals her away and takes her with him, Tanya finds herself launched on a desperate pursuit that will lead her most of the way round the world ... and then even further.
But as Kathy is infected and begins to transform, the most appalling of all questions starts to raise its head ... can anything be done to change her back?
And HOT BLOOD is a truly epic story, starting on the East Coast but then moving on to a small Central American republic in the middle of a civil war (based partly on my own experiences in that part of the world back in the 1980s) before heading off to Eastern Europe ... Prague, Budapest and then the Carpathian Mountains.
And this weekend I'm offering it Free as an introduction to my other work.
